My art is motivated by the tensions created from the relationships between objects, narratives, and expressions. Fashion, time, matter, and sound are key factors which define my art. In my art, I try to capture unsolved or paradoxical moments, stories, and rhythms, and to transform them into objects or drawings. The transformation from a tense occurrence into a sculpture or installation allows me to create a plane between reality and the abstract. I derive inspiration from the deficiencies in our lives, languages, comprehension, structures, and the matter around us. Deficiencies, in contrast with occurrences, are found on timelines and freeze a certain moment, dividing the timeline into past and future and creating occurrences. Deficiencies do not reveal all the details, and force the audience to complete the missing parts, not necessarily by observation. My creative process is divided into stages: creating a series of drawings which articulate the essence that I want to cast into the installations, naming the piece of work, and finally, selecting the proper materials.
